StarNovelChapter 855: "As for those childish fantasies... you'd be wise to let them go. I've already finalized everything with Jarrett. The wedding is set for the 25th. You'll stay hand prepare. That's final.” Ophelia's face crumpled. A raw, anguished cry escaped her lips.
"No! I won't! I'd rather die than marry that cripple!" She jabbed a trembling finger at him, fury pouring from her voice.
